New backing

[Tener ds]

Hi, just picked up some cool lookin shinny blue paper from work :whistle:
It's just a bit darker than the blue on neon tetras, and shinny.
Would this freak out my fish if I used it?

Kept the old backing just in case.

Looks dark enough to work, I hate bright blue backgrounds but that is nearly black.

Nice tank btw, is it an edge?

This is wot it looks like out of the tube:

It doesn't look that blue when it's behind the tank.

Nice. Is it a window film? I read you said paper, but it looks too shiny.

While shiny may look great in the tank, every time you try to do photos involving the backing being in the shot, it will reflect the flash camera lighting. You will have to light the tank by other means and use the camera without flash.

BTW nowadays I just paint the back of the tank in dark blue paint, couple of coats.
